Pickled Jalapeno Chillies

I absolutely love pickled Jalapeno Chillies, I think I could eat a whole jar in one go... 

I've been harvesting the last of the chillies this week, and am very pleased with the Jalapeno harvest. I actually planted extra jalapeno chilli plants with pickled chillies in mind. So, finally, after the first seed was sown back in September last year I've made my pickles.

The Pumpkin Harvest and The First Frost

The pumpkin harvest is finally complete. It has been a gradual process over the last two months, as the different varieties have matured at different times.

Here is a lovely little selection of the pumpkins grown this year.

Making basic white bread rolls

With the newly cool weather around here, it's been a perfect time to get back into bread baking. Baking bread is such a satisfying and rewarding thing to do. It's very easy to do and requires a minimal amount of work. While it does require some time and organisation, the rewards are delicious.
